' Wrote:surely - its easier and more exciting to play "war" than to play "peace". but if someone wishes not to play war - would you want to force him to?
You can proclaim neutrality all you want, if some people have problem with your agenda, they can easily choose to ignore your neutrality claims... And then it's up to you how you choose to counter their aggression.
Quite simple really.
I think all this talk about whether Zoners "need" more enemies is quite useless.
Universe was not created for Zoners' needs. Well, anyone's needs, really.
EDIT: Before anyone accuses me of anything, what I said can be applied to any faction (as I wrote in the last non-edited sentence). I have nothing at all against Zoners as a player.
